i checked using the notepad find function there is no duplicate case in the switch case part of the prog.cpp period.
there is no other "case WM_DESTROY:" in the prog.cpp period.

Code:

---

line 768

                case WM_DESTROY:
                {
                        PostQuitMessage(0);
                break;     
                }

                default: return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
      }

---

however above that there is

Code:

---


enum { alfaone,
      alfatwo,
      alfathree,
      betaone,
      betatwo,
      betathree,
....

    }

....

                                        switch(LOWORD(wParam))
                                        {
                                          case alfaone:
                                          ....
                                          break;

                                          case alfatwo:
                                          ....
                                          break;

                                          case alfathree:
                                          ....
                                          break;

....

 

                                          case WM_DESTROY:
                                          {
                                                PostQuitMessage(0);
                                          break;     
                                          }

                default: return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
      }

even when i change "enum {alfaone ," to "enum {alfaone = 1 ," i get the same error. Or add "enum checkbox {alfaone = 1 , " i still get the same error.
and when i use -b switch in bcc32 to "treat enum like int" still get same error.

Should i put the custome labels in a seprate switchcase ? like so

Code:

---

            switch(label)
            {

              case customlabel1:
              ....
              break;

              case customlabel2:
              ....
              break;

              ....
            }

---

i want it to work with the windows message q for checkboxes and other stuff. when ever i try to add custom labels i get the duplicate error.

is the second switch inside some

Code:

---

case WM_COMMAND:
{
  switch(LOWORD(wParam))
  {
      case alfaone:
              ....
              break;
  }
}

---

?

it is in the "switch(LOWORD(wParam))". all custom labels are in that. i do not understand why i get duplicate error.

Code:

---

                case WM_COMMAND:
                {
                        switch(HIWORD(wParam))
                        {
                                case BN_CLICKED:
                                {
                                        switch(LOWORD(wParam))
                                        {

post your code...
or evaluate it yourself by comenting it block by block

it is too long to post. it is also commented but not block by block.
i did check for any missing "}" and ";" no missing found. checked it 4 times before posting. i was thinking that the enum is the prob. when i remove the custom labels it compiles. but does not do what i want.

edit
will comment block by block

ok done. commented block by block. the other errors wer fixd. down to 1 errors. still getting the duplicate case error.

been thinking about that. "switch(LOWORD(wParam))" is latter 4
bits 0-15dec so i thinking wm_destroy: and wm_create: and or other wParam also assigned same value thus creating duplicate prob.

so where do i find the int values of wm_destroy: and the rest?

WM_DESTROY message
